SS Rotterdam, Museum ship and hotel in Rotterdam, Netherlands
The SS Rotterdam spans 228 meters in length and features multiple decks containing preserved cabins, dining areas, and exhibition spaces across its steel structure.
Launched in 1958 by Queen Juliana, this ocean liner transported passengers across the Atlantic until 1968 before converting into a cruise ship for worldwide voyages.
The vessel maintains original furnishings and design elements from the 1950s, representing Dutch maritime craftsmanship and passenger ship architecture of that period.
Visitors can access the ship daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available through multiple decks and spaces of this floating museum.
The vessel functions simultaneously as a museum, hotel, and event venue, allowing guests to sleep in authentic ship cabins while experiencing maritime history.

Rotterdam showcases a diverse collection of tourist attractions that reflect the city's transformation into a modern European metropolis. The rebuilt city center features contemporary architectural landmarks such as the Cube Houses, the Erasmus Bridge spanning the Nieuwe Maas river, and the Euromast observation tower rising 185 meters above the urban landscape. The Markthal, a covered market hall opened in 2014, combines commercial activity with residential space under a large horseshoe arch decorated with digital artwork. Museum Park houses several cultural institutions, including the Kunsthal exhibition building and the Boijmans Van Beuningen museum, which displays Dutch and European paintings from medieval times to the present day. The city's attractions extend beyond architecture and museums to include green spaces and specialized venues. Het Park, designed in 1852, provides 19 hectares of landscaped gardens along the riverbank, while Kralingse Plas offers a 100-hectare artificial lake surrounded by forest for outdoor recreation. Rotterdam Zoo, the largest animal park in the Netherlands, presents more than 180 species across themed habitats, including an oceanarium. The Maritime Museum documents the city's development as Europe's largest port through collections of ships, navigation instruments and port equipment. These attractions together present Rotterdam as a destination where historical maritime heritage meets contemporary urban development.
